hey kids-
well, after back-to-back losses, our patriots are back on track- and so
am i with your tommies. the first loss (WEEK TWELVE @ DENVER BRONCOS L 30-24)
was a heartbreaker and I couldn’t stomach looking at game photos, and the second
(WEEK THIRTEEN VS. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES L 35-28) was a comedy of errors – but i
was busy moving into my own place (hurray) and writing for people who pay me
(hurray hurray). that brings us to this week’s win against the houstons. let’s
do it!
i knew things were going to be alright when i saw tommy warming
up pregame – with his ferocious face firmly in place. we never lose when he
pulls out the ferocious face! our fearless quarterback wound 22 of 30 for 226
yards and two touchdowns – one to his barely gone but sorely missed buddy, rob
gronkowski. between the face and the gronk, this one was in the bag.
the hits just keep on coming, with blount and easley both leaving this game
with season-ending injuries. thankfully, plenty of guys stepped up to fill in
the holes – particularly jabaal sheard and akiem hicks on defense, each with two
sacks. gronk racked up 87 yards and little white rushed for another touchdown,
but this week’s tommy is going to tommy. it’s been a rough couple of weeks, but
our tommy keeps finding ways to keep us afloat – even acting as a running back
and receiver for our depleted offense. leadership, competitiveness, and general
roguish charm win the day! here he is, explaining to the refs that we’re going
to win this one, no matter how many calls they decide to reverse.
we clinched a playoff spot with this win – and with julian edelman running
around in practice again (hurray hurray hurray!!!!), our future is looking more
promising than our present. we’ve got tennessee on sunday and i’ve got high
hopes, so think your happy patriots thoughts! I’ll be back with the holiday
edition of the tommy sooner than later – promise!
have a great weekend, and go pats!
love dav
